I'd have to think about it a little more to have a more well thought out opinion, I think.

I never stipulated who the rich would be, aside from those who have more stock in a company. That would depend on the ability of the company you work for and/or own stock in. One person = one vote. Those with more shares simply have more options when it comes to access to public property and services.
I'm not saying this is a viable option. I was just trying to create a system that I've never seen before that incorporates a communist and capitalist governmental system. I would hate to live in my hypothtical country, simply because I think capitalism is an extention of private ownership and materialism, both of which I am strongly against.
